State of Nevada being Sued over Legalized Prostitution

In the United States today, the state of Nevada has some of the worst cases of sex trafficking in the nation.  The primary reason being that many counties in the state are making prostitution legal.  There are at least 20 legalized brothels in the state. Too many people have deceived themselves into thinking that a woman should have the power to decide whether or not she wants to sell herself for money.  That it's her life, it's her body, and therefore, her choice.  The truth is, it does the exact opposite.  Legalized prostitution gives the message that in truth, men are in control of women, that there are nothing but commodities that can be bought, sold, and disposed of when they're no longer profitable.  Legalized prostitution does not empower women, it turns them into a commodity.  


Even worse than this, legalized prostitution is in truth, legalized slavery.  The brothels' that operate in Nevada charge a 50% commission for the services that the prostitutes provide, and the pimps take the rest.  These pimps have kidnapped, manipulated, or coerced girls into their service sell them to these brothels, and the owners simply look the other way.  Their concern is not the physical and mental well-being of the women, but their profits.  These women, who are forced to sell themselves every day, suffer both physically and emotionally from what they do, and many never recover fully.  It makes these women believe that they're only worth what somebody is able to pay.  Even more astoundingly, brothels owners are now sending recruiters to Nevada high schools during "Career Day" events in order to recruit young girls into working for them as a prostitute.  


You cannot be anti-human trafficking, and pro-prostitution.  Where you have one, you have the other.  Legalizing prostitution will not end the human trafficking epidemic that is plaguing our nation, it will make it worse because it will only serve to increase the demand and make it even harder to combat the illegal market of women being sold into sex slavery.  The pre-Civil War American abolitionists showed us that state-sanctioned slavery is still slavery, and these brothels are simply another form of slavery that has no place in the United States, or anywhere in the world.  

Today many people, including former brother workers, are standing up and suing state of Nevada.  The plaintiffs are showing to the world that the legalized prostitution is in truth legalized slavery (Link to Video).  It is every bit as wrong as the slavery that existed in the United States before the Civil War and the system of convict leasing and peonage (debt slavery) that followed.  No little girl ever grows up telling her parents "Mommy, daddy, I want to be a prostitute someday."  


This movement to legalize prostitution must be fought, because this is not only a Nevada problem.  This movement is being pushed hard throughout the nation.  California, New York City, even Washington D.C. has witnessed ever stronger movements to make prostitution legal.  We cannot let this happen.  If we support this movement, we are in truth, bringing slavery back to our nation.  If we turn a blind eye to this push, we are doing something that Holocaust Scholar Yehuda Baur told us never to become: a bystander.  If you truly want to stand up for women and stand against slavery, then you must stand against legalized prostitution.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
